What are the x-intercepts of the graph of the function below? y = x2 + 2x-15

Answer:

x = - 5, x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the x- intercepts let y = 0, that is

x² + 2x - 15 = 0

Consider the factors of the constant term (- 15) which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term (+ 2)

The factors are + 5 and - 3, since

5 × - 3 = - 15 and 5 - 3 = + 2, hence

(x + 5)(x - 3) = 0

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x + 5 = 0 ⇒ x = - 5

x - 3 = 0 ⇒ x = 3

x- intercepts at (- 5, 0) and (3, 0)

Zina [86]

Answer:

(e) (27, 2) and (243, 18)

(g) (63, 9) and (84, 12)

(d) (45, 15) and (60, 20)

(c) (27, 12) and (72, 32)

(a) (15, 30) and (20, 40)

(b) (12, 32) and (18, 48)

(f) (18, 63) and (24, 84)

Step-by-step explanation:

Required

Arrange in increasing order of slope

Slope (m) is calculated using:

$m = \frac{y_2 -y_1}{x_2 - x_1}$

So, we have:

(a) (15, 30) and (20, 40)

$m = \frac{40 -30}{20- 15}$

$m = \frac{10}{5}$

$m =2.00$

(b) (12, 32) and (18, 48)

$m = \frac{48 -32}{18- 12}$

$m = \frac{16}{6}$

$m = 2.67$

(c) (27, 12) and (72, 32)

$m = \frac{32-12}{72- 27}$

$m = \frac{20}{45}$

$m = 0.44$

(d) (45, 15) and (60, 20)

$m = \frac{20-15}{60- 45}$

$m = \frac{5}{15}$

$m = 0.33$

(e) (27, 2) and (243, 18)

$m = \frac{18-2}{243- 27}$

$m = \frac{16}{216}$

$m = 0.07$

(f) (18, 63) and (24, 84)

$m = \frac{84-63}{24- 18}$

$m = \frac{21}{6}$

$m = 3.50$

(g) (63, 9) and (84, 12)

$m = \frac{12 -9}{84- 63}$

$m = \frac{3}{21}$

$m = 0.14$

From least to greatest slope, the pair of points are:

(e) (27, 2) and (243, 18)

(g) (63, 9) and (84, 12)

(d) (45, 15) and (60, 20)

(c) (27, 12) and (72, 32)

(a) (15, 30) and (20, 40)

(b) (12, 32) and (18, 48)

(f) (18, 63) and (24, 84)
